To the article's credit, it is acknowledged that NPR is not the left's Fox, but only after saying that common knowledge suggests that this is so. And here's why the left needs to be more radical --- in essence, get itself a Fox news: because in a world where NPR is considered to be as far left as you can get, the "centrist" position between NPR and Fox will, in actuality, be right of center! So, we need more extreme leftism just to pull the center back towards the actual center. I wish I did not live in a world where extreme leftism was necessary in re-centering the center, but I do, and it is. In the America I see today, the left, in being too accommodating (as lefties by definition generally are) so far continue to let the right pull the "center" ever right-ward.
